Nearby Theaters

The Harrison Theatre opened in 1913, with seating for 570. It was located on S. Kedzie Avenue, near W. Harrison Street in the East Garfield Park neighborhood. The theatre closed by about 1950, and was torn down not long after for the construction of what is today Interstate 290.

The obituary for Morris B. Lang in the 10/29/60 Chicago Tribune states that Lang “formerly owned and operated the Harrison theater, 503 S. Kedzie av., until eight years ago when it was closed and demolished to make way for the Congress Expressway.”
